After this topic was discussed a bit at the developer's confab, I got to 
thinking about what a great feature that would be.

Renumbering priorities is a sadly common task for me in my somewhat 
chaotic config environment, and having a way to "sneak in" actions in 
between existing ones would be a major win.

Of course, the problem of the hard-coded "priority + 101" situation is 
problematical.  I say we think through what the perfect world would look 
like in this respect and then see how hard it would be to implement. . .
